MEMO PARIS
SHAMS OUD

Memo Paris Shams Oud opens with a lively burst of ginger and pepper, setting a vibrant tone that quickly gives way to a heart enriched with the soft, enveloping warmth of cashmeran and the earthy depth of cypriol. As it evolves, the fragrance becomes more sophisticated, transitioning into a rich base where the balsamic qualities of Peru balsam mingle with the smoky undertones of oud, complemented by the grounding presence of vetiver and the resinous sweetness of styrax. This complex interplay of notes creates a multi-dimensional experience that is both comforting and intriguing. Ideal for those who appreciate a bold yet refined scent, Shams Oud excels during the cooler months of fall and winter, making it a perfect choice for both day and evening wear. Its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage ensure that you’ll leave a memorable impression without overwhelming those around you. If you enjoy fragrances with a strong woody and amber profile, Shams Oud stands out in its category and can easily rival other high-end oud scents. Consider it a worthy addition to the collection of anyone looking to explore the deeper facets of modern perfumery.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

The opening leans on pepper and ginger, then a cypriol and cashmeran accord takes over within the first hour. Oud, peru balsam, and styrax carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear, not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across winter and fall at any hour. Most wearers settle on liking it (4.2/5) rather than loving it, a safe rotation addition.
